@node Buffers, Windows, Backups and Auto-Saving, Top
described below before saving the file. (@xref{File Attributes},
for how to examine a file's modification time.)
-@defun verify-visited-file-modtime buffer
-This function compares what @var{buffer} has recorded for the
-modification time of its visited file against the actual modification
-time of the file as recorded by the operating system. The two should be
-the same unless some other process has written the file since Emacs
-visited or saved it.
+@defun verify-visited-file-modtime &optional buffer
+This function compares what @var{buffer} (by default, the
+current-buffer) has recorded for the modification time of its visited
+file against the actual modification time of the file as recorded by the
+operating system. The two should be the same unless some other process
+has written the file since Emacs visited or saved it.
The function returns @code{t} if the last actual modification time and
Emacs's recorded modification time are the same, @code{nil} otherwise.
This function returns the current gap size of the current buffer.
